Nails (20) omitted 



taking the maximum distance between the two points (right and left) 

 where the zygomatic bones rest on the lateral walls of the cranium. 

 The height of the skull was determined by measuring a perpendicular 

 distance between the greatest convexity of the parietal bone in the me- 

 dian line and the junction line between the basi-occipital and the basi- 

 sphenoidal bones on the ventral surface. 



The cranial capacity was determined in the following way: The skull 

 was held vertically, with the nose downwards and was filled with fine 

 shot (no. 11) to the upper level of foramen magnum and then the nose 

 of the skull gen\tly struck twice against the palm of the hand. 



The space thus formed was again filled. Although this is a simple 

 procedure yet it needs the greatest care to produce uniform results.
